INTRODUCTION 

Badminton is an indoor skill sport and considered to be the fastest racquet-sport

played by either two opposing players (singles) or two opposing duos/ pairs
(doubles). The players or duos/pairs take position in opposite halves of a rectangular
court that is divided by a net.

The sport uses a shuttlecock also a birdy or shuttle, which is a 16-feathered

projectile material fixed in a cork base covered in a kid leather that has the
aerodynamic properties of flying. The players strike the shuttlecock with their
rackets so that it passes over the net and into the opponents' half of the court. The
rally ends once a player commits a fault or the
shuttlecock touches the floor.

Badminton consists of five events namelv: men's singles, women's singles, men's
doubles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles. The player/s must score 21 points
with 2 points advantage against the opponent/s.

HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT 

Sports historians cited that sport Badminton has originated in ancient Greece about
2000 years ago, which spread to China, India, Japan, and Siam (Thailand).
Throughout the medieval times, an English children's game named Battledore and
Shuttlecock was popular and played, the battledore being a paddle and the
shuttlecock as a small feather cork, now usually called a bird.

During the mid-18th century (1860's), British India Army Officers in Poona (now
Pune, India) were playing the traditional English game wherein sooner they added a
net. The game was known as Poona at the time. The game was taken by retired
officers back to England (1980's) where it developed and rules and regulations were
set out.

The new sport was introduced in 1873 at the Badminton House, Gloucestershire.
The Duke of Beaufort was entering soldiers at his state while others are playing
Poona. Non- military guests began referring to the games as Badminton Game, and
thus later became known as Badminton.

The first badminton club in the world was established in 1887 known as Bath
Badminton Club with standardized rules and regulations. The International
Badminton Federation (IBF) (now known as Badminton World Federation) was
established in 1934 with Canada, Denmark, England, France, Netherlands, Ireland,
New Zealand, Scotland, and Wales as its founding members. India joined as an
affiliate in 1936. The BWF now governs international badminton and develops the
sport globally.
